 If you are looking for a bachelor/master thesis or a job as a student research assistant, you may find some interesting opportunities on this page.
-====Theses====
-== Web-based knowledge visualizations (BA/HiWi) ==
-{{ :research:knowledge-visualization.png?200}}
-The knowledge base visualization allows to display semantic environment maps,
-objects, human poses, trajectories and similar information stored in the
-robot's knowledge base. Its [[http://www.ros.org/wiki/mod_vis|current version]]
-is written in Java and has grown old over the years. Recently, there has been
-much progress in creating [[http://www.ros.org/wiki/interactive_markers|interactive
-D visualizations]] for ROS that can also be accessed with a
-[[http://www.ros.org/wiki/wviz|web browser]]. This project is about creating
-a web-based version of the visualization using these techniques.
-Requirements:
-  * Good programming skills
-  * Experience with JavaScript development
-  * Knowledge of Web technologies (HTML, XML, OWL)
-Contact: [[team:moritz_tenorth|Moritz Tenorth]]
-== Statistical relational models of human activities (MA) ==
-As part of the [[http://cogwatch.eu|CogWatch EU project]], we are working on
-the analysis of observations of Apraxia patients. After suffering brain damage,
-these patients lack important motor coordination skills that result in various
-kinds of errors in performing everyday activities. Based on data from the
-extensive patient trials, the student is to learn statistical relational
-models that characterize which errors are made in which circumstances.
-Requirements:
-  * Good knowledge of machine learning (Bayesian networks, statistical relational models)
-  * Programming skills (Java)
-Contact: [[team:moritz_tenorth|Moritz Tenorth]]
-== Tools for knowledge acquisition from the Web (BA/MA/HiWi) ==
-There are several options for doing a project related to the acquisition of
-knowledge from Web sources like online shops, repositories of object models,
-recipe databases, etc.
-Requirements:
-  * Programing skills (Java)
-  * Experience with Web languages and datamining techniques is helpful
-  * Depending on the focus of the project, experience with database technology, natural-language processing or computer vision may be helpful

-== HiWi position: Segmentation and interpretation of 3D object models (HiWi/MA) ==
-{{ :research:cup2-segmented.png?170}}
+== Depth-Adaptive Superpixels (BA/MA)==
+ {{ :research:dt_dasp.png?200|}}
+We are currently investigating a new set of sensors (RGB-D-T), which is a combination of a kinect with a thermal image camera. Within this project we want to enhance the Depth-Adaptive Superpixels (DASP) to make use of the thermal sensor data. Depth-Adaptive Superpixels oversegment an image taking into account the depth value of each pixel.
-Competent object interaction requires knowledge about the structure and
+Since the current implementation of DASP is not very performant for high resolution images, there are several options for doing a project in this field like reimplementing DASP using CUDA, investigating how thermal data can be integrated, ...
-composition of objects. In an ongoing research project, we are investigating
-how part-based object models can automatically be extracted from CAD models
-found on the Web, e.g. on the [[http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse|3D warehouse]].
-We are looking for a student research assistant to push this topic forward.
+Requirements:
-In close collaboration with the researchers of the Institute for Artificial
+  * Basic knowledge of image processing
-Intelligence, the student will work on extending the software for mesh
+  * Good programming skills in C/C++.
-segmentation, implement novel algorithms, improve the integration of the
+  * Experience with CUDA is helpful
-methods into the robot's knowledge base, and update the modules for visualizing
-the segmentation results. Depending on the results, cooperation on joint
-publications may be possible.
-This HiWi position can serve as a starting point for future Bachelor's,

-Master's or Diploma Theses. Alternatively, we could extract a research
-project that could be worked on as a Master's or Diploma Thesis.
+== Depth-Adaptive Superpixels (BA/MA)==
+ {{ :research:human_model.png?200|}}
+For tracking people, the use of particle filters is a common approach. However, the quality of those filters heavily depends on the way particles are spread. In this thesis, a library for the physical simulation of a human model is to be implemented.
 Requirements:
-  * Good Java programming skills
+  * Good programming skills in C/C++
-  * Basic knowledge of 3D geometry calculations
+  * Optional: Experience in working with physics libraries such as Bullet
-  * Experience with working with 3D models is helpful
